A 17-year-old student in Russia was sentenced to six years in prison for attempted arson of military facilities.
Because the high school student threw Molotov cocktails at the buildings of two district military replacement offices a few months ago in protest against the Russian war in Ukraine, the court in the Baltic Sea Metropolis of St. Petersburg found him guilty of “attempts at terrorism”.
The harsh approach of the judiciary had previously caused a stir because the then 16-year-old Yegor B. had caused little damage with his actions in February of this year: in neither case did a fire break out in the military facilities.
Boy suffers from chronic liver disease
The ‘Meduza’ portal, citing the student’s mother, reports that he is suffering from chronic liver disease.
Russian courts repeatedly sentence war opponents to sometimes draconian prison terms. Internationally, most of them are considered political prisoners.
